The USB card looks good, but I'm thinking you could do better on the CD-RW drive.

Here's a $55 one (48X) http://www.e1micro.com/usb20ex48cd.html
It's not a name brand though, but check out best buy I was there tonight and I saw some that had mail-in rebates.

Same dealer, 52X...$58: http://www.e1micro.com/usb20ex52ide.html
///correction...apparently it's on sale for $48 right now
